Just from an outsider's perspective... I visited Seoul recently as I had a two day stopover on my trip to China. It was depressing. Why?

1. No culture. Just an urban landscape with shitty shops that sell overpriced shit. In countries like China and Japan small shops sell cheapass shit that is interesting. In Korea it's like overpriced everyday bullshit.

2. Crap food. Kim chi is shit, basically cooked vegetables with spices - and you're always left feeling hungry. At least in America you can buy all sorts of shit from all over the world and in decent portions.

3. Pollution. Ugh. No greenery. Just cars, smoke, industrial complexes. Not to mention how fucking cold it is most of the time... I mean, yeah, it's a country that's cold, but you'd think they'd give the city a warmer feeling like Japan etc.

Japan = nuclear radiation, average girls (not really into ganguro and all that eye-opening lens stuff)

Beijing = good food, average girls, worst pollution

Seoul = ok food, hot girls, ok pollution compared to Beijing

Visited all three cities back in 2007.

As a foreigner I think I was the most welcomed in Beijing, however I experienced no prejudice in any of these 3 countries.

But the pollution is just awful in Beijing, it was so unbearable I had to wear a mask.

I must agree, Asian girls are the prettiest, especially Japanese. I guess it's just a matter of opinion.

If Asian girls are the prettiest then why do they spend millions of dollars each year trying to look more like European girls?

incorrect, beijing has blue skies, and the weather is nice and clear??

must agree on the girls though.



And they don't spend money trying to look european, they spend money to look good, period.

apart from circle lenses though, that shit freaks me out

1. Visits for 2 days and says theres no culture. gtfo troll

2. All you ate was kimchi the entire 2 days? Yeah that would be pretty shitty even for some Koreans.

3. Dress warmer.

Glad to know you were there for only 2 days.

Exactly what I was going to say, Asian girls are the prettiest if they are not too Asian. xD

since i am young in the UK (13) i feel like that my life is consumed by studying and sometimes really unhappy but i muddle throughm i understand why the korean kids are so unhappy. The esports culture in Korea should help if it wasn't fro the stupid laws.

What does that even mean? "If they are not too asian?" As in half asian/half caucasian? I'd like to know more about this asian girls want to look like european girl complex besides double eyelid surgery.

This is odd. If their corporations are under international shareholder pressure, then why is there still a discount on Korean equity? They aren't being as profiteering as this economist makes them out to be. If they have been trying to maximize share prices then they've done a terrible job, even in this world economy. Because of things like honor and family, their businesses are actually more risky and it's reflected in their stock prices.

Well the average Asian girl has not much boobies, rather small, pronounced cheekbones, slanted eyes (much more than the models).
And all the surgery and make up are designed to go away from these characteristics.

What a douche.

If anything, smaller features on asian girls are prettier by most standards, especially when you talk about faces. Ofc bigger eyes are sexier but not typical european kind of eye, but slantier eye with sharper corners. At least thats the trend and the reason why half euro chicks do arabic makeup trying to make they eyes look less round. So youre kind of off base here.

Everything else above the breast asian chicks dominate. When you say they are smaller - how is that a disadvantage? What kind of guy generally wants biggr girls? Unless ure fat or have some silly fetish?

You ever wonder why white chicks do tanning? They dont want to be very white huh? Nobody wants to be pale white son, its fckn disgusting. Asians got amazing skin if they take care of it.

Out of all the guys that I was shooting shit with nobody ever said anything about being turned off by asian chicks, its THE OPPOSITE.

Last thing - its truly mind boggling you rag on them asian girls given where you live. Seriously? You live in UK. WTF. SHUT UP.

Hungary represents again. We hold the world record for highest recorded suicide rate in history.

Gotta say, I'm not surprised by Korea either, especially wrt teen suicide. From what I read on TL the pressure on kids is brutal, both academically and socially.

I'm not too sure .. sadly.. =(


Many countries in South east asia are really happy. The people are calmer, life is simpler, they are nice and getting angry isn't cool.

Except Singapore of course - that place has many traits of South Korea.
